Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 230 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
Puree 300 grams of fresh strawberries using a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and the prepared strawberry puree.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in their pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, while beating, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
Step 11
Slice the remaining 150 grams of fresh strawberries for topping and decoration.
Step 12
Once the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
Step 13
Decorate the cake with the sliced strawberries, arranging them to your preference.
Step 14
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and enjoy!
